That's basically the premise of Immersed (https://immersed.com). I've used the product and it was good enough resolution, and having what amounted to 6 monitors in a space that fits on my head is nice.

I think the biggest advantage is that you can take it with you pretty easily. It's not easy to carry around a bunch of big monitors, but the VR headset fits in your luggage.

You just better be good at touch typing. :)
